Sinus Relief

My sinuses have been an issue for me the last several years. I have an allergy to mold, so the second it gets wet outside, I get hit with horrible pain in my sinuses. Ah, the joy of living in mid-western USA!

I've tried so many things to relieve the pain, from sinus rinses (made by the neti pot people), massage, nasal decongestants, allergy medications. Some of it works, but I am not comfortable with popping pills every other day!

This winter has been good for me and I really haven't had much pain, but today a thunder storm rolled in and I woke up with the familiar feeling again. Luckily, my husband bought me this for Christmas.

The Mabis Steam Inhaler. It is amazing! I got some peppermint and eucalyptus oils to add to the steam and I just love the results I've had from this machine. It heats up very quickly and just 5 minutes of steam inhalation with the oils really helps my sinuses pressure. I joked with my husband this morning that I was going to go "cuddle with my steamer", because I just love it so!

If you have sinus pain, I suggest you give this machine a try. It costs about $25 on Amazon

About Me

I am a 29 year old child of God. I'm completely imperfect and yet saved by God's grace. I consider this my little online coffee shop (probably more of a tea shop if it was my taste), where I get to talk with other Christian women and share some of my interests: living debt-free, crafts, cooking, fashion, family, pregnancy, babies, etc. I live in Ohio with my husband and baby.
